Khuiqer was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh known only for a limestone lintel bearing part of his royal titulary, found in Abydos by Flinders Petrie at the beginning of the 20th century, and now located at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (E 17316 A-B).〔Jürgen von Beckerath, ''Untersuchungen zur politischen Geschichte der zweiten Zwischenzeit in Ägypten'' (= ''Ägyptologische Forschungen'', 23). Augustin, Glückstadt / New York, 1964, p. 70.〕 His datation is extremely uncertain since he was tentatively placed in both the First and the Second Intermediate Period. ==Dynastic collocation== After the finding of the lintel, Petrie believed to read the royal name ''Uaqerre'' but was doubtful about his datation, and simply placed him between the 7th and the 14th Dynasties. Shortly after, Gaston Maspero attributed the mysterious king to the 6th – 11th Dynasty range. Max Pieper more correctly readed the name ''Khuiqer'', claiming that this king should have reigned between the 13th and the 18th Dynasties. Ludwig Borchardt came to the same conclusion, while in 1907 Henri Gauthier, following instead Maspero, placed him again in the First Intermediate Period.〔〔 When, more recently, the German Egyptologist Detlef Franke proposed the existence of the Abydos Dynasty〔Detlef Franke, ''Zur Chronologie des Mittleren Reiches. Teil II: Die sogenannte Zweite Zwischenzeit Altägyptens'', In ''Orientalia'', 57 (1988), p. 259.〕 (a dynasty of local pharaohs who might have shortly ruled upon the Abydene territory during the Second Intermediate Period), he placed Khuiqer inside of it. Jürgen von Beckerath attributed him to the Second Intermediate Period too, following the claim that the block came from a building of Senusret I, although he admitted that Khuiqer's Horus name, ''Merut'', seemed peculiar for this period.〔 This Horus name was also the main topic for Kim Ryholt's attribution: he argued that ''Merut'' is too simple when compared to the Horus names of the Second Intermediate Period, which usually are composed by two or even three different words. Ryholt then suggested an earlier placement for Khuiqer, in an imprecisate moment during the First Intermediate Period.〔Kim Ryholt, ''The Political Situation in Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period, c. 1800-1550 B.C.''
